Performance Characteristics

RTA utilizes several different technologies to deliver service to the customer's premises. Not all technologies are available in all areas. Some or all of the following advertised Internet Service Options are available depending upon the technology being utilized. Each service option will perform within the range advertised for that option:

Network latency is not to exceed 40 milliseconds during normal network operation. This value may be considerably lower depending upon the amount of error correction applied to the customer's circuit. Call if you have questions.

2. Wireless delivery to the home (Excludes customer owned or operated WiFi networks)

Network latency is not to exceed 50 milliseconds during optimal network operation. Given the daily variation in environmental conditions that affect all wireless communication, latency will vary and may exceed this value.

There are no additional specialized terms available or that can be applied to the RTA service.

1. RTA does not sell or provide customer data to other commercial entities or private parties.
